About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

Y is for Yarn Bombers! Fake Cover!!

Believe me - the title's the best bit of this one, but at least we're at the end of my self-indulgent day and there are mice! Woolly mice.

A tree got yarn-bombed in the late autumn, the drunks and yobbos had pulled half the mice off by the first weekend, but someone came out and knitted them all back on or 'in' or whatever you do to lose mice in the medium of wool?

That's it, there was a notice but I didn't read it, I regard this stuff with curiosity and have a mixed view of it, it's fun, but it's become a bit formulaic . . . it was amusing to see a town in Kent, or Norfolk or somewhere (someone else's town) having all its bollards woollyfied a few years back on Faceplant, but realising your own town is victim to the ten-thousand-and-something'th yarn-bombing attack is more of a yawn than a yarn; if you know what I mean!
